In 1966 Siva whispered to Mao

“destroy the evil doers.

Use the most young to root

out the four olds:

old ideas

old cultures

old manners

and

old customs.”

The red guards awoke to the call

and they destroyed.

The third eye of Siva

saw that it was good,

but the eyes of mortals

saw struggle sessions and the pain

of loss.

The loss of things valued for centuries

(“the sky fell to the earth”)

And

the loss of a generation

known as the Red Guards.

Mao, as all mortals, died.

(the Four, too)

the two lines formed a road

and called to the motherland,

and it still does.

Much later,to another person

in another land,

 Siva whispered once again :

“destroy the evil-doers”
